You say in your profile that youa re not sure what you want to do to help at this point.
I've been doing a bunch of research, and have found out that there are a bunch of ways we can all reduce our energy use (and therefore oil consumption) on an individual level.
I wrote a little blog entry on the subject... If you have the time, check it out... http://push.pickensplan.com/forum/topic/show?id=2187034%3ATopic%3A193424 Drop me a line and let me know what you think.
I'm trying to talk to as many people as I can in order to continue to add to my list of ideas as far as how to conserve more in my daily life (and also share what I've learned)... I believe that while we build and invest in large-scale solutions, we can also do a bunch of little things in the process.
Thanks for listening.
